Red Velvet Fudge Recipe

Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love celebrating a homemade holiday. Each year I make homemade Christmas treats like this Red Velvet Fudge recipe to share with family and friends.

Indulge yourself with something sweet this holiday season! Discover our delicious red velvet desserts recipes.

I love coming up with new Christmas candy recipes. I try to make a new Christmas candy recipe each year and then make some of my favorite homemade holiday recipes that everyone already loves.

The Kraft Holiday Bake Center is always my first stop whenever I am shopping at Walmart. I love to check out the new holiday baking ingredients that Kraft comes out with for each holiday.

I always find new and fun ingredients to cook with that I can't wait to turn into my next favorite recipe. This year the JET-PUFFED Jumbo Red Velvet Cupcake Marshmallows caught my eye.

Fudge Recipes make great Christmas Gifts

Besides cooking and baking with the new seasonal products, I also like to come up with fun and clever ways to package my homemade Christmas gifts.

Making homemade holiday treats and packaging them in cute ways is so much cheaper when you are shopping and making from the Holiday Bake Center at Walmart.

This one batch of Red Velvet Fudge can be packed up into about 10 or more gifts depending on how many pieces of fudge you use for each gift. Everyone loves to get homemade fudge as a gift at Christmas time.

You're in for a double sweet DIY treat today because I am sharing the recipe for this homemade Red Velvet Fudge and a cute DIY Christmas Gift packaging idea for your homemade fudge Christmas gifts this year.

You can package almost any homemade Christmas treat you make using the same idea as I used for my Red Velvet Fudge in a Jar Christmas gift.
